Does the Shield of Capacity Always Hit? (in General)

Does the shield of capacity have a guarantee of hitting after storing up damage? (regardless of your dex and weapon cth/pth calculation) I’m sure I have lost to teams using it in the past that could not hit my minion except for SoC flashes. Or maybe I’m just delusional right now. Could anyone that has tested the SoC confirm this hunch of mine?

No you have to be able to hit with your weapon either with Dex or Pth.
Terami is the minion with the SoC. In this fight he has negative dex and base Pth

Here is more damage with .3 of bloodlust trained and I added pl so my GA wouldn't kill him in ranged and he could get a round of melee hits in.

I see thanks. I thought it was bugged. With negative str and base damage weapon will you still be able to deal damage with the shield flash? (saying the reflected damage isnt modified by your own ability to deal damage)

Yes you will still deal damage when the shield flashes with negative str. Negative str is technically a myth, the game sees negative str as 0 str. So in essence you will always deal back the portion of "saved" damage, assuming you can hit your target, regardless of what your str is. Str and BL modify the damage from there I believe.
